Good to hear about his CIA, mine should be here Monday morning

If you look at the rest of my post I explained it in joking terms. I failed to connect one of the clamps on the pipe to the flexible connector tightly enough. The first time I pushed the boost to about 16lbs. the pressure blew the pipe out of the connector. This opened up the loop and the turbo could not make any pressure, so some sensor detected this and threw an engine code.

I limped home, reattached the pipe and tightened all of the clamps agin good and tight, reset the code with the battery disconnect trick and it has been flawless since!!

For me, Dejon-Dave's CAI & IC Pipes have not throw a code since and I drive hard!!
